Tweeps divided over “Pearl Thusi Must Fall” trend

Hashtag Pearl Thusi must fall trends on Twitter and some tweeps have risen in defense of the actress.

Aside kicking against racism, the star also shunned the xenophobic act in South Africa.

In no time, she was dragged with the hashtag, Pearl Thusi must fall.

I am not afraid… Of hashtags, name calling, personal attacks…

It’s a waste of time with me. I will always stand by my word.

Love… P ❤️

However, some tweeps are in defense of Pearl and dragged those in support of the hashtag.

Lastly if you promoting any of these hashtags #PutSouthAfricansFirstNow #PearlThusiMustFall #PutSACitizensFirstNow #MAGA Read this thread or do some research. You are no better than Racists! BTW racists also like to get angry and say they not racist when they get called out!!!
